Questions

1. How to disable SSR if I don't use it at all?
2. Why does it try resolve nested dependencies, which btw are optional in the mongodb package?
3. How can I prevent it from happening?

sry, after searching around on this issue, I don't see a good solution for this. I might need to dig deep into vite to see if I can find a workaround.
